Yahoo Screen and PBS Come to Apple TV

2013's been a big year for Apple TV, and the surprises still aren't over (at least for American users). As MacRumors reports, Apple's diminutive entertainment device now features a channel for PBS, as well as the new Yahoo Screen, which lets users watch videos from programs such as Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

To start using the PBS app, just log in with your own PBS account or your accounts for either Facebook or Google+. There's a small downside, though--apparently doing so signs you up for e-mail updates from your local PBS stations.

Yahoo Screen was released earlier this year for the iPhone and iPad. In addition to the offerings listed above, it also grants users access to programs from venues such as Wired, Martha Stewart, GQ, The Onion, and Comedy Central.

Today's announcement comes in the wake of this year's earlier surprises, such as the appearance of HBO Go and Watch ESPN on the device last year. In August, Apple added apps for Disney and Vevo to the mix as well.
